vMATHEMATICS AND MATHEMATICAL LITERACYEXEMPLAR EXAMINATION PAPERS AND MEMORANDUMSFORGRADES 10 TO 12 (NCS)ABOUT THIS BOOKLETThe examination papers in this booklet are exemplar end-of-year examination papers.These papers have been developed by teachers of <strong>Mathematics</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mathematical</strong><strong>Literacy</strong> in line with the requirements for the examinations as set out in the followingdocuments:• Subject Assessment Guideline: <strong>Mathematics</strong> (DoE, January 2007)• Subject Assessment Guideline: <strong>Mathematical</strong> LIteracy (DoE, January 2007)All of the papers are based on the Core Assessment St<strong>and</strong>ards for the subjects asdetailed in the Subject Assessment Guideline Documents.In developing the booklet the team of teachers have used the following as points ofdeparture:1. The lower-order questions asked for by the guidelines on examination setting in theSubject Assessment Guidelines should be clearly visible to students writing theexaminations. You will find that:• Both of the <strong>Mathematics</strong> papers (paper 1 <strong>and</strong> Paper 2) have as Question 1 acollection of short knowledge <strong>and</strong> basic application questions covering the fullcurriculum – all students should as a minimum be able to answer all of thesequestions.• The Grade 11 <strong>and</strong> Grade 12 <strong>Mathematical</strong> <strong>Literacy</strong> Paper 1 have a clearlymarked Section A which consists of the knowledge <strong>and</strong> basic applicationquestions that all students should find accessible.• The early questions in the Grade 10 <strong>Mathematical</strong> <strong>Literacy</strong> examination paperare all knowledge <strong>and</strong> basic application questions.2. The use of language in developing context – especially in <strong>Mathematical</strong> <strong>Literacy</strong> –should be kept to a minimum so that students do not spend more time reading thanthey do answering the examination questions.The following have not been included in the booklet <strong>and</strong> teachers who use these papers intheir teaching may need to develop <strong>and</strong> include these for the papers:• Cover pages <strong>and</strong> instructions sheets• Diagram sheets (if necessary)• Formulae sheetsAlthough every effort has been taken to minimise errors, it is possible that there are some.If you are working with the booklet <strong>and</strong> happen to come across any errors then pleasewrite to the developers (aarnout@brombacher.co.za) so that we can rectify these for futureeditions.It is hoped that you will find these papers useful as you prepare your students forexaminations in <strong>Mathematics</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mathematical</strong> <strong>Literacy</strong> <strong>and</strong> also as you attempt to makesense of the curriculum statements for both subjects.
